Hi everyone,

0.75ml fill which was unbelievable and has given me complete restriction! So in two weeks i have lost a stone and now have 28lbs to go. Does anyone have any comments on their experiences of full restriction? I'm not sure if it's too tight or the best routine to get into x

What exactly are you asking? What our restriction experiences have been like?

I was very tight but lost the weight and more and recently went to have a 2ml defill. I am now able to eat and have a lot more energy and look a lot better!! At one oint Ilooked like death warmed up and needed to go for a defill. Definately worth it ok I have less restricton and this has helped ease the acid reflux, burning and I feel like I can eat and know my limits now whereas before I didn't know my limits because it was forcing me to stop.

HTH

Hi everyone haven't been on in a while, went for my first fill today in Glasgow, it has been over two years since last one. Wendy put in just over half a ml and said she wouldn't have got anymore in cause of the pressure so that takes my band to 6.2 ml and hopefully I have restriction. I'm stick to Soups and yoghurt's now for as long as I can manage without going crazy. havent updated my ticker yet but have 55 lb ish to go.

Can't wait to get my weight loss started again.

Any healthy meal ideas would be greatly appreciated xxxx

I feel like every now and again I need to have a de-fill and a little normality for a month, only problem is the weight comes back on. So is this my story for the rest of my life I ask myself?

I cant eat and drink alcohol, its one or the other, or else I put weight on sad.png

I'm also scared that when I get my next fill, I wont lose the weight I have put on. Is this normal do you think?

Hello Everyone,

Haven't been on here in ages......

Last year had to have a bronchoscopy after having lung infections for the best part of 6 months.

Ii Found out my lungs were clear but it was my wind pipe that was inflammed.

This was caused by the band being too tight and constant reflux at night, with droplets going in to my trachea every night.

Was prescribed steroids to reduce the inflammation in the trachea.

The consultant diagnosed I was anemic too.

So big defill in November. Since then I've put on 8 kilos.

I've booked to have an x ray in Belgium at Dr Chris's clinic on Wed 15th Feb.

I'm afraid that a 'pouch' has developed above the band, as when the band was 'tight' I could still eat loads.

So just curious has anyone had a fill with Dr Chris's clinic before?

What am i to expect?

Need him to do a fill while I'm there

Any information would be greatly appreciated

Hi,

I have only had one fill with Dr Chris which was my first one, 3 people I Know have always had fills with him and have had problem from pierced ports to over filling.

I go to Wendy at WLS and have done for over 2 years although i had a 2 year break between fills. She also does an x-ray fill as well.

I never had a problem with the fill Dr Chris gave me I just found that because he is so busy you didnt get time to chat much.

Hope this helps

Jo

Book for the last appointment of the day and you get more time (perhaps it just felt like it)

Frederick was brilliant the other day when I went to see him!

Take care Cx

Important to remember that the band is guranteed by Dr Chris and if you have fills eslewhere (my understanding) that the guarantee was null and defunct. Is this correct?

Cx

Yeah that's correct :) my consultant only offered the defills for emergency only because I have small babies, they tend to stop growing by a certain week so if I couldn't manage to eat for whatever reason and there was no clinic on, the hospital would do the defill instead. Not had any problem yet though, thankfully :) although for some reason I feel anxious about having an X-ray lol x

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
